I am new to the forum as I am looking for some help so forgive if I am posting in the wrong concussion board.

I recently purchased and built the Dynam Hawk Sky and have flown it a couple times but after a few days I am running into some problems...

When I turn on the plane, one of the servos now makes a strange noise but every servo still functions until I attempt to turn up the throttle--now only goes up to about 20% power-- which runs for five seconds and then the entire plane just shuts down....

I have no idea what is going on--maybe a busted battery or ESC???

Any advice??

Do you have access to one of those wattmeters? That will give a LOT of information on how your motor/esc/battery is performing. If nothing else, check out one of those $5.00 digital multimeters from Harbor Freight. Low cost digital meters are available through a wide variety of places, including Wallyworld.
